This volume explores the wide diversity in the kinds of networks
that have been established between firms in Japan and the Pacific
Rim. Editor W. Mark Fruin shows how networks in Japan and Korea are
more prescribed and standardized than those found in the United
States. For example, Toyota's satellite organizational system is
more flexible, open-ended, and market-conforming than General
Motors divisional organization. But less market-conforming networks
can also arise. In China, for example, networks have arisen because
of the unpredictable nature of markets. The contributors to this
volume utilize new ideas and data to formulate an understanding of
the importance of networks to the success of Asian firms. The
book's postmodern approach--seeking not a single model but rather a
variety of models of equally probable validity--makes it a unique
resource for scholars and professionals in the field.
